Start process flow on key press

I created a process flow and have tested this with an initial task. This initial task doesn't have any code attached to it. Starting this process through this task works.

Now I want to start this process flow by pressing a key-combination.

After updating the model (from within the windows desktop application), this key-combination does not seem to work. Also tried Ctrs-Shift-Alt-H combination with the same result.

Is there something else that I should be doing in order to start this process flow?

Hello Roy,

Not all actions that you can model in the processflow modeler are starting actions, and not all these starting actions are actions that you could ‘activate’ with a shortkey or key combination.


The only starting actions that could be ‘activated’ with a shortkey or key combination are:
Execute tab task    this one can have a custom key combination
Print tab report       this one can have a custom key combination
Add record
Edit record
Delete record
Edit in grid on
Refresh

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks Edo,

My process flow does start with an execute (tab) task action. But probably since there are two actions it doesn't know with which one to start.

I guess besides starting with one of the actions you mention it has to be exactly one process action and not multiple ways to start it. I guess I have to post an Idea to include which process action to start with if there is more than one.
